Israel In Haiku: Nes Gadol Hayah Po
Oak trees were planted Archeological dig Chanukah's first light
Our third day in Israel started with a visit to Neot Kedumim where we planted some oak trees. At the Tel Maresha archeological excavation we explored some caves and helped to find artifacts from the time of the story of Chanukah, 2200 years ago.After a visit to Yad La-Shiryon, the Latrun Armored IDF Corps center and memorial, our activities ended a the Nalaga'at Center in Jaffa where we saw a play performed by blind and deaf actors and then enjoyed dinner served by deaf waiters. We even learned some Israeli sign language after lighting our chanukiah for the first night of Chanukah.Chanukah in Israel ... Nes Gadol Hayah Po ... a great miracle happened here!Remember to visit Temple Chai's TC Israel Adventure blog for more about our trip.
